G knf.bal T han ksoivino . — President
J ohnson has istiued a Proclamation ap
pointing the first Thursday in December
next as a day of thanksgiving and prayer.
Ali, Saints' Day .—The annual
recurrence of this interesting period
in the Hornau Catholic Calendar,
was appropriately celebrated yester
day within the walls of V Eglise St.
Joseph in our city. The services,
conducted under the auspices of the
kind and estimable pastor, were well
calculated to imbue the heart with
profound inspirations of a religious
character and to lead the soul to a
contemplation of that gloria in ex.
celsis which we are taught is the lot
of those who, "pure in heart," and
preserving the "divinity of their na
tures" have put off their mortal ha
biliments and in immortality have
ascended to tin» Throne on High.
The preparations and arrange
ments for decorating the graves and
tombs in the Cemetery were on the
most ample scale, but as we were
hurried in order to get our paper to
press early so that our workmen
might repair to the spot and witness
the imposing scenes and ceremonies
promised there, we are unable to
epèak particularly of them in point
of actual observation, at our present
writing. We feel well assured, how
ever, that the spectacle was such as
to touch every heart susceptible of
a sense of the solemn and beautiful.
Mata moras— Defeat of the Lib
er alifa— The New Orleans Crescent of
Tuesday says :
We learn from Capt. Shutes, of
the steamer Eliza Hancock, which
arrived here yesterday from Galves
ton, that advices had been received
there up to the 26th inst. from Mata
moras, and up to that date the
"Heroic City" was still in posses
sion of the Imperial forces. Prior
to that date several unsuccessful at
tacks had been made by the Liberals,
during one of which they obtained
possession of a fort outside the city,
but they were finally driven from the
field with groat slaughter. The Im
perial loss was slight.
A D angerous C ounterfeit .—We
have had shown us a treasury note of
the denomination of/?»e dollars, which
is probably one of the best counter
feits yet executed. The paper is rather
inferior, arid the face in the lower
right-hand corner is slightly different
from the genuine portrait. It would
deceive almost, anybody.— St. Louis
Republican 23 d.
A F emale D avenport B oy. —A re
markable medium, in the person of a
girl 18 years old, is now exciting the
wonder of the residents of Springfield,
Mass. After being locked in a square
wooden cabinet, with her hands
tightly tie I behind her back and fast
ened sccurely to a ring in tiie back of
the cabinet, she ties and unties knots
in cords, places a ring on any ßnger,
in her ear, and in her lap, plays on a
drum and triangle, rings a bell, talks
plainly with a large block of wood in
her mouth, changes a brass hoop from
her neck Jo one foot, and vice versa.
Tea Cultivated in Georgia.—
A man who has been cultivating tea
as an experiment, sinco i860 writes
to the Savannah Herald that most of
his plants grow finely, that his tea is
of good quality, and the plants will do
quite as well in Georgia as in their
native country. The plants require
no culture after the third year. If
well taken care of, by that time they
will be large enough to commence the
manufacture of tea from them. The
yield to the acre is from three to four
hundred pounds, and the plants pro
duce good crops for eighteen or twenty
years. The growth of tea is not af
fected by dry or wet weather, or by
storms, and insects will not molest the

AN EFFICIENT OFFICIAL.
The practical good sense displayed
by Gen J. S. Fullertok , the new
charge d'affaires of the Freedmen's
Bureau in this State is eliciting uni
vertal commendation and satisfaction
among the advocates of good order
and wholesome reform. In the exer
eise of his official functious he be
trays none of that ''lordly littleneBs"
which has unfortunately characterised
those who have "strutted their brief
hour" on similar stages of authority in
this and other States South. II
word« and his acts denote that just
temper of disposition and spirit so
necessary and proper to an impartial
though firm discharge of duty. From
bis first setting out in the position as
signed him, to the present time, his
chief care has been to deal out ''even
banded and exact justice to all"
whose circumstances and couditiou
come within the scope of his peculiar
jurisdiction. In fine, he has given
evidence of an adminstrative capacity
and fitness which, instead of rendering
his office an engiueof constant disquiet,
embarrassment and oppression to t!>e
people has raised it to something like
a utilizing and protective standard
more in consonance wish the wishes
and understanding of the President
of the Nation and far butter adapted
to the principles and purposes of a
genuine Christianity and civilization
The recent address of Gen. Fulleb
ton to the Freedm«], which we pub
lished a few days since and which has
been published in the columns of nu.
merous other journals, was a grand
step in the right direction, and calcu
lated to exert a direct and important
influence for good throughout the
State. It has afforded us further
pleasure to notice more recently in
the New Orleans papers certain or
der» emanating from the same head
indicative of a wise policy in matters
coming within the cognizance of the
"Bureau," and affecting the welfare
of freedmen and society at large. One
order aims at providing for the ap
prenticing of the young blacks in New
Orleans, with a special view to their
proper training in habits of industry .
another is intended to put a stop to
vagrancy among the colored people,
in the city, and another has for its
object the abolishing of Freedmen's
Bureau Courts. As the latter em
braces in its application the entire
State, we give it it in full for the ben
efit of our readers :
OFFICIAL.
B ubsad of F ree L abob,
ükpabtmknt of thf
New Orleans, Oct
Circular No. 24.
By virtue of the law of the Btato of
Loniaianu the tontlmony of freedmon is
admirable in all cases that can be brought
to trial ii the courts of Baid State. There
uro no legal disabilities resting upon thuni
by reason of color. They nifty sue and be
sued in all tribunals. It is therefore or
dered that the Provost Court for freedmon
at tho Hoadquarters of this Bureau, and
bob, i
F Uta», >
t. 26,1865.)
all other courts of any description whatso
ever, that have been established by officers
of this Bureau, within the State of Louisi
ana, be aboli« lied. All cases now pending
in such courts will bo at once transferred to
the proper State courts.
So long as this Bureau remains in exis
tence it shall be the duty of the agent.» and
Provost Marshal« of the sumo, or ot officer»
appointed by them for such purpose, to
bring suits for freedmen, when necessary,
in the Stato courts within their respective
districts, and they Bhall in such cases up
pSar as their next friend or attorney.
Hereafter no arrests shall be innde by
any officer or agent of this Bureau, nor
shall they interfere in any manner with
the proceedings of civil courts or the exe
cution of tho law. It, however, any out
rage has been committed upon freedmen,
and the civil authorities reftme to offer re
lief or take notice of the same, the agents
ef this Bureau will at once luy tho matter
before tho nearest military commander,
who, if the case require action, will make
arrests, and render all necessary assistance.
la transfering these matters of tho civil
courts, it is hoped and believed by the As
sistant Commissioner of this Bureau that
all judicial officers and magistrates will act
justly and temperately towards the froed
men. and will render them the kind as
sistance than is required by a people who
having been lately manumitted, are to à
great extent ignorant of the law and cus
toms that govern free persons. The civil
tribunals cannot süßer by being just to all
men. If jnstice is ddno there will no longer
be a cause or pretest for military interfer
ence in such civil matters. On the other
hand, the freedmen must not take it for
granted that the courts will fail to protect
them in their rights, if in some cases im
mediate hearing or justice is not obtained.
The del- ys of the law are proverbial.
Judges and juries are not infallible.
When wrong decisions have been made,
appeals can be taken, or other legal reme
dies obtained.

Good Advice from a Negro to an
B rethren .—-Ia Henrico County, Vir
ginia, the negroes held a meeting and
petitioned John Simpson, an aged
negro man, to address them upon
their changed condition. The Rich
mond Times thus gives his re
marks :
"Mr Fellow Servants : I come
before you this evening to tell you
what I think is your duty as colored
people. You are now free, and you
have got to work and work harder
than you ever did before. It is my
opinion that unless we work we ate
woise off now than we were when we
were slaves ; for when we were sick
our masters took care of us, and we
did not have to clothe ouiselves, buy
our own food, and pay our doctor's
bills ; and now, in order to make a
living, we bave got to put our shoul
ders to the wheel and work haid, and
behave ourselves a» coloied people ;
for we are black, and we will be black
if we live until judgment day. And,
fellow servants, I believe thut God has
cursed us for being so wicked, and
that we are now a cursed people.
We sinned too much. We did not
think that Jesus died on the co«s for
us, and to save us from damnation.
Now, my fellow servants,"you have al'
had minsters. Go find them, and tell
them that you want to work for them,
and work hard for them, for I tell you
my master is my best friend, and I
am going to stick to him as long as be
will let me, and work faithfully for
him ; for I tell you winter is coming,
and you all will feel it if you don't
have a comfortable home. So I hope
you will all go to work, and work
hard, and that God will be with you."
IIow to Get Laborers from
Europe .— We notice the formations
of associations and theestablishmentof
agencies everywhere to procure labor
ers, artisans and domestics from
Europe. The new line of steamships
between New Orleans and Liverpool
will be immediately available in
bringing out such useful emigrants,
every effort should be made to induce
not only day laborers and domestics
to come, but substaf tiai farmers and
manufacturers, to develop« the riches
ot our soil, teach us bow to economize
and work up the immense material
which the forests and the bowels of
our land afford, but which are now
either wasted, or neglected, or sent
away to enrich other people. Let us
have immigration ; the immigration
of the industrious and skillful, and
capital will then follow.—-iV. O. Pic.
The Way they make Butter in
France .—It is well known that cream
may be converted into butter by sim
ply, being buried in the ground, but it
is not generally known that this
method is in common use in Norman
dy, and some other parts of France.
The method is as follows : The cream
is placed in a lineu bag of moderate
thickness which is carefully secured,
and placed in a hole in the ground
about a foot and halt deep ; it is then
covered up and left twenty-four or
twenty-five hours. When taken out,
the cream is very hard and only re
quires beating a short time with a
wooden mallet, after which half a
glass of water is thrown upon it,
which causes the butter to separate
from the butter milk. If the quanti
ty of crearn intended to be converted
nto butter is large, it is left more
ban twenty-five hours iu the ground.
In winter, when the ground is frozen,
he operation is performed in a cellar,
the bag being well covered up with
feand. Some persons place the bag
containing the cream within a second
b ig, iu order to prevent the chance of
itny taint from the earth. This system
SHvea labor and it is said to produce a
Vger amount than by churning;, and
of excellent quality, and is moreover
said never to tail.— Society of Arts.

DIED:
At Greensboro', Ala., on Tuesday morning, the
nth ult, arter a lingering illness, PERCIVAL M.
HATCH, aged about 40 years.
Cur deceased frb nd and relative was well known
to many in thla vicinity. He had long resided in
Baton Rouge, and an on* his most endeaiing re
membrances and associations were those which
ted him always to speak with cherishing regard
of the place and iti people. Daring a period of
ten years he was associated with as in the pub
jication, first of the Weekly and afterwards of the
Dally and Weekly Advocate , and in all that time
we can truly «»y of him that he earnestly and
diligently labored te discharge the duties which
devolved on him. How well he succeeded in ac
complishing that task his long career in our midst
sealed by our own approbation and that ol his
numerous friends will testify. Hij genial and
generous disposition, his talents and energies,
were such as to win him the respect and appre
ciation of all whi were brought in intimate con.
tact with him. Words fail to express the deep
sorrow which we feel at parting with one who was
endeared to us by so many sacred and binding
ties.
He ttives a widow and son to mourn the lose
of one who had always proved himself an affec
tionate and devoted husband and fattier.
